  |
|
In a speech to freshly programmed battle bots at West Point, Bush lovingly referred to his 'War on Terror' as the new 'Cold War'.
| Quote: | Cold War
The Cold War was the protracted geopolitical, ideological, and economic struggle that emerged after World War II between the global superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States, supported by their alliance partners. It lasted from about 1947 to the period leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991.
The global contest was popularly termed The Cold War because direct hostilities never occurred between the United States and the Soviet Union. Instead, the "war" took the form of an arms race involving nuclear and conventional weapons, networks of military alliances, economic warfare and trade embargos, propaganda, espionage and proxy wars, especially those involving superpower support for opposing sides within civil wars. The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was the most important direct confrontation, together with a series of confrontations over the Berlin Blockade and the Berlin Wall. The major civil wars polarized along cold war lines were the Greek Civil War, Korean War, Vietnam War and the Soviet-Afghan War, along with more peripheral conflicts in Angola, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.

Lets see - 1947 to 1991 - that's um.. 44 years. Ok, so, 2001 plus 44, that brings us up to...
Great - we ought to have this terror thing wrapped up around 2045. At least by then, every person on the planet will have the opportunity to experience the joys of corporate democracy - or relax in a nice pine box.

Associated Press Writer
WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) - President Bush, likening the war against Islamic radicals to the Cold War threat of communism, told U.S. Military Academy graduates on Saturday that America's safety depends on an aggressive push for democracy, especially in the Middle East.
The president took a subtle jab at Syria and the nuclear ambitions of Iran. He chided previous U.S. administrations, saying that decades of excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make America safer.
``This is only the beginning,'' Bush said. ``The message has spread from Damascus to Tehran that the future belongs to freedom, and we will not rest until the promise of liberty reaches every people in every nation.''
[...]
``The war began on my watch, but it's going to end on your watch,'' Bush told the cadets. ``By standing with democratic reforms across a troubled region, we will extend freedom to millions who have not known it and lay the foundation for peace for generations to come.''
Bush compared his moment in presidential history to that of President Truman's.
``As President Truman put it towards the end of his presidency, 'When history says that my term of office saw the beginning of the Cold War, it will also say that in those eight years we set the course that can win it.' His leadership paved the way for subsequent presidents from both political parties - men like Eisenhower, Kennedy and Reagan - to confront and eventually defeat the Soviet threat,'' Bush said.
``Today, at the start of a new century, we are again engaged in a war unlike any our nation has fought before, and like Americans in Truman's day, we are laying the foundations for victory.''
Truman told the class of 1952 at West Point that the quest for global peace depended on the active and vigorous work to bring about freedom and justice across the world.
``That same principle continues to guide us in today's war on terror,'' Bush told the class of 2006, the first to enter the academy after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Bush recounted his strategy for fighting terrorism, saying that the U.S. continues to view anyone who harbors a terrorist equally guilty of being a terrorist. He received loud applause, muffled only by the cadets' white gloves, when he told of his doctrine of pre-emptive strikes, attacking enemies abroad before they can attack U.S. soil.
The greatest danger America faces is the threat from terrorists armed with weapons of mass destruction, Bush said.
``If our enemies succeed in acquiring such weapons, they will not hesitate to use them, which means they would pose a threat to America as great as the Soviet Union,'' he said. ``Against such an enemy, there is only one effective response: We will never back down, we will never give in, and we will never accept anything less than complete victory.''

| Quote: | Terror alert as Caspian oil pipeline opens
Tom Parfitt in Georgia
Sunday May 28, 2006
The Observer
In the foothills of the Caucasus mountains, a long line of broken mud cuts across the meadows. If you go anywhere near it, camouflaged guards carrying automatic weapons emerge from the forest beyond.
These guards in the Borjomi region of Georgia - trained by US army and SAS veterans - are pawns in a new great game gripping Central Asia: their job is to protect the oil pipeline buried 10ft below.
'A terrorist attack is the greatest threat we face,' says the guards' commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Giorgi Pantskhava, an energetic Georgian in desert fatigues and aviator shades.
The $4bn (£2.2bn) BTC - Baku Tbilisi Ceyhan - pipeline comes on stream today It is key in American plans to reduce dependency on Opec oil producers in the turbulent Middle East. Pumping oil 1,000 miles from the Caspian sea to the Mediterranean through Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, it will avoid Russia - increasingly seen by the US as a resurgent superpower prepared to use control of energy resources as a political weapon. |
That doesn't seem right - let people freeze to death? Who would be cruel enough to use control of energy resources as a political weapon?
| Quote: |
The pipeline - 70 per cent funded by the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and export credit agencies - took three years to build and will carry up to one million barrels of oil a day to western markets. |
Oh.
| Quote: |
Yet its position on the faultline between Russia and its estranged former Soviet neighbours makes it a shaky bet.
The fiercely pro-Washington government of Georgia's president, Mikhail Saakashvili, welcomed the BTC with open arms, saying transit payments would help to kick-start the economy of the faltering ex-Soviet state.
Since coming to power in 2004 Saakashvili has steered his country away from Russia towards co-operation with the US. 'Georgia will be America's partner in spreading democracy around the world,' Bush told rapturous crowds during the first visit of a US president to the country last year. Yet the pipeline, constructed and run by a BP-led consortium, will open in the teeth of bitter opposition.
[...]
Georgia's interior ministry is taking no chances. Original plans to patrol the BTC route with unmanned reconnaissance aircraft were dropped in favour of small, roving anti-terrorist squads. Yet even these might not be able to prevent an attack, as another guard admitted: 'Iran may try to strike it with a missile and we shouldn't forget that Russia is the primary expert for techniques in blowing up pipelines,' he said.

Well, it appears as if the needs of America, Democracy, and Big Oil have yet another striking similarity -
They both need 'protection' from the same 'enemy'.

If Sun Tzu were alive today, I'm sure he'd want to update his classic to include: Subduing your enemy using the Sport Utility Vehicle. All it takes is control of the price of gas, the interest rate, and the money supply, but that starts to sound like one of my 'conspiracy theories'.
If I were that paranoid, I'd look for the 'velvet glove' involvement in the use of global energy as a political weapon. I'd begin to speculate that the 'democratic' face of the charade would be a 'concerned' look at 'regulating' the energy industry, for the 'communitarian benefit' of the people, of course. But that kind of double angle deception would need a glaring and obvious 'problem' in dire need of 'control' to justify 'rising costs', higher taxes, and increased individual dependence on state controlled frivolities like heat.
Ok, I guess I am that paranoid. Actually, since it appears that the least charasmatic person on earth is now a 'movie star', perhaps I have simply gone insane.
| Quote: | Al Gore: "action" movie star
By Moira Macdonald
Seattle Times movie critic
Former Vice President Al Gore, with a poster from his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," was in Seattle earlier this month.
"An Inconvenient Truth," director Davis Guggenheim's documentary about former Vice President Al Gore's longtime campaign to raise awareness of global warming via a touring slide-show presentation, opens Friday at Pacific Place and the Guild 45th. Earlier this month, Gore came to town to host a special screening of the film, and sat down to chat for a few minutes about his new identities as environmental crusader (his slide show has been seen by more than a thousand audiences) and — yes — movie star. For the record, he's informal and charming in person, with an easy laugh, and he says he "does not intend" to run for public office again.
Q: You've had an interesting progression: congressman, senator, vice president, presidential candidate ... movie star?
A: [Laughs] I think of it ["An Inconvenient Truth"] as the ultimate action movie. Because it gets the audience motivated to take action. Lord knows we need it.
When I was in the Senate, I used to have a framed New Yorker cover on my wall. It was a full-color cartoon, by that artist who draws silly-looking dogs. This dog was riding a tricycle, with a little funny hat on, on the stage of a grand opera house. All the levels are filled with the bedecked and bejeweled, and they're applauding wildly. And the little dog is thinking: 'I don't know why they like this, but I'm gonna keep pedaling.' So, when you say movie star, I think, OK, I'm just going to keep pedaling. |
Dude - maybe you should stop pedaling and check your meds.
| Quote: |
Q: How did your interest in these issues begin?
A: As noted in the movie, I really began my interest in the issue as a college student. I was elected [to Congress] in 1976. The following year, I started trying to stir up interest in Congress in global warming. Not too long after that, I organized the first hearings, and had my professor come. All those years, I continued to have hearings and look into it.
[In the late '80s] I started digging much more deeply into the root causes. It had become clear to me that simply describing the danger and the need for action wasn't accomplishing very much. When I reassessed my personal and professional priorities, I decided to really take this on in a big way in 1989. I started then writing a book, "Earth in the Balance," and then at the same time I started putting together a slide show.
Q: How has the slide show evolved over the years?
A: My wife, Tipper, got me connected with an expert at National Geographic, who helped me put together a Kodak slide projector version [of the show]. And that grew, by 1990 I guess, into a three-projector show. It was pretty elaborate. ... [After the White House years] I started to give the slide show a lot. The first time, I took them all out, held them up to the light, put them all in a different order. I went down to Middle Tennessee State University, gave the slide show, and every slide was backwards. It was really embarrassing.
When I got back home to Nashville, Tipper said, "I know I should have put those in for you." And she said, "By the way, Mr. Information Superhighway, we have computers now." So I put them on computer graphics, and that was the time in early 2001 when it began to really evolve more rapidly. It became a lot easier to add new images and move things around; I could see the patterns a little better. I started changing it every time I gave it.
Q: There's one startling statistic, among many, in "An Inconvenient Truth": Two media surveys indicated that 53 percent of stories in the mass media say that global warming is unproven, while 0 percent of stories in scientific journals make that claim.
A: Of all the slides people mention and talk about [after the presentation], that's the one they mention most. How do you explain it? Well, a lot of reporters have lost their jobs in recent years, the staffs have been reduced, the news hole has been shrunk. The ratio of news to ads has changed, the cookie-cutter conglomerate approach has taken its toll, advertisers and muckety-mucks have more influence over messaging now. I know papers where the advertising department attends the news meetings. |
Yeah, well I know governments where the war department faxes it's advertisements directly to the 'cookie-cutter' 'muckety-mucks' over at the newsdesk, you two faced cheesedick. 'Former Vice President?' - I'd say this sounds more like a fifth grader with a learning disability.
| Quote: |
In any case, one of the ways that a lot of people have coped is to just fall back on the balance canard. 'Professor So and So described how the world is round, and we contacted So-and-So, who says that the earth is flat. You make up your mind. ... ' We're virtually the only nation in the world where this is going on. The debate in the scientific community is over. |
Perhaps you should ask 'Professor So and So' to clarify his position: is the earth round or flat? While you're at it, ask him about global warming, his unusual last name, and how you became such a retard.
| Quote: |
There are five points that everyone agrees on. Number 1: Global warming is real. Number 2: We are mainly responsible for it. Number 3: The results are catastrophic. Number 4: We have to act quickly. Number 5: It's not too late. Those five points make up a global consensus. Only in the U.S. and Australia is there a continuing charade over this pretense that it may not really be a problem.

Unreal. Even if I wasn't speechless, I wouldn't know where to begin unravelling the complete nonsense of these five 'points'.
Al Gore has officially become the Ron Burgundy of politics. "You Stay Classy, Global Warming..."
Good thing 'Mr. Information Highway' has got ol' Tipper there for tech support - "Hey Al, I pooped a hammer!"
So, the life and labor of the American 'oil addicts' fund the military 'protection' of World Bank owned global energy assets from 'terrorists' while the NGO's (aka: World Bank) take control of production in order to 'save the planet'.
Meanwhile, the super wealthy are still encouraged to buy a Hummer rather than waste their money on taxes. I believe this is a very successful business tactic called controlling the forces of supply and demand, aided by the ability to control perception of the forces. Also known as the same old scam.
I wonder if Victoria Secret would even try to sell something this see through. |

This relates to Zak's new post, The NWO plans for the future
It seems that there's a few rumors (scares) floating around about possibilties of nuclear actions from Iran, China, and even North Korea.
I fully concur that this is the old 'cold war' con game.
Kennedy's Secretary of Defense during the Cuban Missle Crisis, MacNamara, revealed in his memoirs in the 90's that there werent' any warheads in those missles the U2 spy plane photographed in Cuba!
MacNamara was the architect of a cold war concept called , 'balance of power through the threat of Mutually Assurred Destruction. (M.A.D.). Movies like "Dr. Strangelove: how I learned to love the Bomb", and "Fail Safe" were shown. Lower level sci fi B movies were shown for the kiddies like "Godzilla", with towns torn apart by radioactive giant lizards. (those scared the shit out of me when I was seven. That's why I have Icke's number...objectifying primal fears with metaphor is an old theme. ) Other's with UFO invasions with 'radiation beams' and so on...
Few here may have been around during the Cuban Missle Crisis, but it was an episode of State Terror on the public in the United States. I'll describe it from my six year old memories:
Children were drilled at school for impending nuclear attack. We were shown creepy film strips of Lenin and Stalin-- and for some reason Hitler and Auschwitz, and red hammer and sycle engulfing the map of America in blood. Concluding with footage of the immolation of Hiroshima.........
After a lecture on how our parents would probably be burned to death at work--and at home our pets would burst into flame, we were assured that we might be spared, and would be taken to radiation proof bunkers under the public library--where we would be trapped under the poisoned earth for the rest of our lives......after the lecture, then we were marched in tears and confusion onto waiting school busses. After a drill day, we'd go home and watch "Twilight Zone" for evening entertainment on television, pretty much about the same thing.....radiocactive creartures from outer space taking over the world, or the last man on earth, a bank teller on an errand in the vault, suriving a nuclear war only to find there was nothing worth having up above.......
Meanwhile, Parents spent good money having bomb shelters built in the back yard, and bought guns for when our neighbors might attack to kill us for our canned food supply, since there would be no more food for hundreds of years. ...or to defend us against bloodthirsty, goonlike Soviet paratroopers...
Everyone was terrified.
The Russians weren't the ones who gave us that dose of manufactured PTSD. Our government, news media, and Hollywood did.
As it turned out, the Russian missles in Cuba were dummies!
So tell ya wot. I ain't going for that bullshit scam a second time around. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!
A better reason I can give not to buy into the fear mongering, is that the current economic links emerging with Globalism don't fit the nuclear scare scenarios. The nuclear scare relies on a belief that nations are still soveriegn, that their leaders are in competition with one another, and that's just not the case.
Oh.....almost forgot about the 'Terrorist' scenario'. Those heavily financed brainiacs with James Bond and Ninja turtle magical powers, and little tiny nuclear bombs in wrist watches, just waiting---for five long years--to unleash terror. Like Bin Laudin, who sends VHS tapes just when Bush is lagging in the popularity polls. You know, those guys who are aways one police mug shot with names we can't pronounce, who never get interviewed on 20/20. We know who they are because when the blew up the WTC and London subway, their ID card dropped to the street from the sky.
I suggest if they existed, Geraldo Rivera would have interviewed one by now.
For a full education on the premise of the "War on terror" , everyone rent a copy of Terry Gilliam's 1984 movie, "Brazil".
And......

So they let both GW Bush and Noam Chomsky speak to the battlebots at West Point. Hmmm. Most of the Chomsky audience questions amounted to: "so should we just let the terrorists win?" But this crop is better educated than the average Army recruit.
Thanks to Jerry for the dark, bitter, cynical, brilliant humor cutting thru the bull.
Thanks to Ormond for the Nuke Scare review. I missed that fun by a few years. And they wonder why American society is neurotic and dysfunctional in terms of internal relations - crime, crack, Paris Hilton. We've been engineered that way.
speaking of ... I saw a google video of Paris singing Happy Birthday to Hef, emulating Marilyn Monroe but with less clothing. Pretty entertaining in a tawdry way. |
